How to service and repair a Hood Cable on 2007 Toyota Camry?

Question

Accepted Answer

A proper replacement and repair process for the hood cable starts with removing the front wheel and front wheel opening extension pad where you need to eliminate the 3 screws. The cool air intake duct seal for the 2GR-FE engine must be uninstalled before moving on to the front bumper assembly that might include fog lights. Disassembly of the front fender liner requires you to remove 5 clips as well as a bolt and 4 screws together with the grommet. Remove the high-pitched horn assembly followed by the hood lock assembly that needs cable connection removal after disassembling three bolts and disconnecting the hood lock control cable unless there is an engine hood courtesy switch that requires disconnected first. You should disconnect the hood lock control cable to proceed with removing the hood lock control lever sub-assembly. When dealing with the hood lock control cable assembly, use a screwdriver to disconnect the clamps while taping the tip of the screwdriver first before pulling the cable from the engine compartment. Put the new hood lock control cable assembly through the upper radiator support then secure the clamps while passing it into the engine compartment. The hood lock control lever sub-assembly installation must be followed by connecting the hood lock control cable. The hood lock assembly requires MP grease on its sliding surfaces and a connection of the hood lock control cable with 3 bolting points at 7.5 N.m torque (77 kgf.cm or 66 in.lbf torque specification). The hood courtesy switch connector should be connected only when the assembly becomes secure. The front fender liner with a grommet should be installed with its 4 screws while the high-pitched horn assembly receives both a bolt and 5 clips. Start by checking and adjusting the hood sub-assembly before putting back the front bumper and then adding the 2GR-FE engine cool air intake duct seal before using the front wheel opening extension pad with three screws and finishing with the front wheel installation. Adjustment preparation should be executed for fog lights followed by an aiming test and required modifications.
